No one said it was a rational thought, but it’s what I was wondering as I watched a bat the other night.
Let’s call her Edith. Why? ‘Cause she’s such a dingbat!

On the recommendation of our dear friend Max, I did check out the AKC’s Museum of the Dog. Oh my gosh, I had no idea such a place existed! It is located in New York City, but I think there should be branches in cities all over the world.
Unfortunately I missed the deadline for submitting a work to be considered for their Dog Days of Summer exhibit which started yesterday. I doubt I would have been chosen, but it would have been a hoot to try. Instead I have been trying to contact the museum to see if a book about a couple of familiar terriers might be a good fit with their gift shop. So far just voice mail messages and email forms but no replies. Toby says he is very much interested in getting into this museum so he can play like Ben Stiller when everyone goes home.
If you would like to see what my boys like to do when they are alone in a museum, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. Dream Our World is available both from my shop and from Amazon.

I think the grass was extremely happy that Toby did that. It was the most moisture it had experienced in months.
When I went to wash Toby’s behind in the tub, he howled. Ha! I wonder what was up with that?
What do you think was up? Nothing but my girlfriend’s nose is supposed to go there!!

I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to post this story. I drew it several years ago when Geordie was hronking and Toby was reverse sneezing. They made such a cacophony together! I figured it was allergies and gave them some medicine so they could rest.
Not long after, I found out that lung cancer was the real reason behind Geordie’s funny noises. I felt awful that I made fun of my poor puppy when he was seriously sick.
Geordie assuaged my guilt somewhat by living far beyond what the vet predicted. When he finally left, he went on his own terms – old age. He never did succumb to the cancer.

…greenie beany!
Yes, most of the beans ended up in the puppy. I eventually had to hide them on top of the fridge while I washed my hands. Toby can turn into a mountain goat when he wants something.

Yippee!
Mom thought she beat me with that training collar thingie, but I outsmarted her. She told me I am not supposed to bark, so instead I now groan and howl and sing and talk and yodel…anything but bark. And since I am not barking, she can’t say anything. Ha! I win!

Thinking of doing some holiday shopping early? Come to L Bowman Studios for some of the cutest Christmas-themed note cards around. Why are they so cute? My boys are on them, of course!
The note cards are 4.25 x 5″ and are made of heavyweight card stock. Envelopes included!
Today I had to go to the dentist for a broken tooth. I am grateful that it was only a stress fracture and easy to correct. I am also grateful that my dentist is still in business and able to help patients. As a bonus, I got to tell some people about my paintings and hand out a few cards. That was nice.
I know my gratitude is self-centered, but at least I am trying.
Her day may have been nice, but mine sucked. During the part of the evening where I like to bark insanely at top volume, I found myself with a training collar strapped to my neck!! When I barked, Mom yelled, “Quiet” and made the collar beep. This happened twice. I was so upset that I threw myself into my kennel and stayed there. Harrumph. If I can’t bark, I don’t even want to look out the door.
– Toby (the most put upon doggie in the entire world) 
Don’t look at me. I’m unhappy.

Bad news, Toby. I can balance on one leg now!
We both know you’d never kick my butt.
I can get away with anything.
